Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1728783A1] In a process and an apparatus for synthesizing urea which synthesize urea from ammonia and carbon dioxide, the operating condition can be grasped easily and with good accuracy. A process for synthesizing urea which includes: a reaction step of obtaining a urea synthesis solution which contains urea, unreacted ammonia, unreacted carbon dioxide and water by causing ammonia and carbon dioxide to react with each other; a stripping step of separating a gas mixture containing the unreacted ammonia and the unreacted carbon dioxide by stripping the urea synthesis solution by using at least a portion of raw material carbon dioxide; a condensing step of obtaining a condensed liquid by condensing the gas mixture in an absorbing medium while cooling the gas mixture; a recycling step of recycling the condensed liquid to the reaction step; and a step of measuring the density of the condensed liquid online. An apparatus for carrying out this process is provided.
